Timi Roli has a penalty for his victory on the Flat in France and has been a beaten favourite in his four starts over hurdles for Willie Mullins. Great Khan has also been expensive to follow and was behind the former when placed at Ballinrobe before a poor run at Downpatrick. Earthly Reason was a 100/1 chance when a close third in a Clonmel maiden then found fast ground too much to handle in a Gowran bumper but THE MAJOR GENERAL, a Listed winner on the Flat for Aidan O'Brien, has been gelded and joined Joseph. He could be a cut above these and can make a successful debut over timber.
